Yes, as of right now, it prints a new line every second. Maybe one 
option to make it "prettier"
would be to limit the lines printed (by, say, only printing every nth 
line/second), which should
be rather simple to implement by matching the dd output in Storage.pm, 
where log lines are
already being parsed [1].
